FAQs

Still have questions?

Finding the right dog trainer means asking the right questions. So here are the most common ones we get.

How many training sessions will my dog need?

Usually, just one. But if more are needed, we’re happy to support you and your dog.

Do you charge for initial phone consultations?

No, they’re completely free. Just give us a call on 1800 AUSDOG.

How quickly can I book a visit?

Usually, we can meet new clients within two weeks. But this can vary and depends on demand.
We know you want to train your dog as soon as possible, but it’s best to wait for the right trainer.

Do you train all breeds?

Yes. We train most breeds of dogs and puppies.

And we can advise you in advance of what to expect from various dog breeds before you adopt or buy a dog or puppy. This includes temperament, suitability for your lifestyle & activity levels, and family size, age & structure.

However, we will never train dogs to be aggressive, guard or security type dogs.

Do you train all ages?

Yes. We train puppies, adolescents and adult dogs.
It’s never too early or too late for basic dog training. Contrary to popular belief, older dogs can change their behaviour – they just need the right training.

How early should I train my pup?

For best results, we recommend training puppies as soon as possible. Preferably within the first 18 weeks.

Do you train rescue dogs?

Yes. We can introduce rescue dogs into the home environment and help them settle in.
We also assess your dog and provide you with relevant training strategies to carry forward.

Can you help me with an aggressive dog?

Yes. We train aggressive dogs to overcome their aggression (and fears) and give owners effective and lasting strategies to manage them.

Do you offer puppy school?

We don’t offer group puppy training. But we do offer 1:1 puppy training classes because of the accelerated, long lasting results they achieve. We believe group training can be counterproductive to your puppy’s learning. However, we do specialise in training puppies individually.

Do you do training at home?

Yes. We come to you. We believe training your dog in their familiar environment is the most effective strategy. For a list of areas we service across Greater Melbourne please view our dog training suburbs list.

Do you travel to my suburb?

We train dogs across metropolitan Melbourne. We also visit homes in regional Victoria for an additional fee.

Do you train on weekends and evenings?

Yes. We work flexible hours to suit you. We find weekends are the best time to get the whole family involved.

Do you work with children?

Yes. To train child-friendly dogs, it’s important to involve both children – and caregivers – from the beginning.
All our trainers have a working with children certification.

What’s the cost of training?

For a training fee estimate, give us a call on 1800 AUSDOG or send us an online enquiry.

How do I pay?

You can pay by card or cash at the end of your session.
We take Visa, Mastercard or AMEX.

Training that sticks, choose AUSDOG.
